A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 41
Jayden's POVIn just a few hours of practically calling Isabella a loose woman for dressing that way around the house when I didn't even know that she went to the pool with a towel, my emotions are all over the place.I still feel remorseful and I want to do everything possible to make her forget what I said.It was an insult and I have no idea what came over me to say that. She isn't my real wife so I have no right over her.It wouldn't be offensive if only we were real. This is just on paper.She has had me feeling sorry for her for no reason. She accepted this because it was what she needed but I don't know why I feel sorry for her.She mentioned something about love during the dinner with Alejandro and I am curious to know what she means by that.Does she want to go to Verona to find a man who truly loves her? Can't she wait till after our marriage is up to a year before going? I remember she also said something about this when I first presented the offer to her and she outright

Isabella's POVIt was Adrianna Vineyard.That is the name of the wine Jayden served when Gabriel and his wife came for dinner three nights ago.With crossed legs and a book in my right hand, my back resting comfortably on the sofa, I take a sip of the wine, moaning in delight before dropping it back on the coffee table.I love this wind. The taste is unique. Probably because I haven't had a taste of many wines. Maybe if I take more varieties, I will find others who are good too.But for now, I love this wine and I will always have it beside me whenever I am reading.Reading does something magical to me. It makes me create a world of my own. A world filled with nothing but love, laughter, joy, and everlasting happiness. This is in contrast to the reality we are living in.The reality of challenges and tribulations. Filled with mixtures of laughter and sorrow, joy and sadness, love and hatred, laughter and tears.If there is one thing I wish for right now, it is LOVE. True love. Becaus

Jayden's POVWhen I come out of the bathroom, I see Isabella still sleeping on the bed, making me wonder when she will wake up.I have some questions to ask her. These were the questions I was supposed to ask her last night but I was surprised to come out of the bathroom to see her fast asleep.It amuses how fast she can fall asleep within minutes.Taking my eyes off her still body, curled up in bed like a baby, I walk to the closet to get a dress to wear.I pull a black jacket out of the closet and a pair of black pants with a white long-sleeve top before turning back to drop them on the bed when I see Isabella stirring in her sleep and yawning loudly without covering her mouth.I halt and watch her as she opens her mouth widely before fluttering her eyes open. Our eyes lock and she scrambles out of bed with embarrassment.I chuckle lightly and walk to drop my clothes on the sofa. A towel is still wrapped around my waist.I don't know if the embarrassment is a result of that or becau

Jayden's POV When Anna brought the wrong file for me for the second time, I refrained from shouting at her but I couldn't stop myself from slamming my fist on the desk. The pen on the desk falls off as she scuttles backward in fright. First, it was a white coffee and now she is bringing the wrong file for the second time. Is today meant to be a bad day for me? Isabella did hers when I was getting ready to come to work by asking me the silly question of who Helena was. How dare she? She has no right to ask me who Helena is. I don't know how she got to know about Helena and I don't care to know. I am just mad at her for bringing up the topic of Helena. She has no right to do that. Because I am being civil with her doesn't mean she can ask me personal questions. Is it because I also asked her personal questions? "I'm sorry, sir", she apologizes immediately, fear flashing in her eyes. "Sorry?" I growl out in frustration. I have been doing all I can to stop myself from transferrin
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 45
Isabella's POVJayden has been extremely cold towards me ever since the day I asked him about Helena.Well, I never knew it was a big deal to ask about her but the moment I saw his expression, I knew it was more than a big deal and my curiosity to know who she was intensified.I do not know why. I just want to know why Jayden looked like someone who could kill when I mentioned her name.Obviously, she isn't just anybody. I thought she was one of the exes he would like to talk about. I was very much interested in knowing about his love life and why he doesn't believe in love anymore.I was so sure he used to believe in love and he was in love with someone. Probably her.Helena.Helena.I always think about her anytime Jayden comes home with this same cold expression and anytime he ignores me as if I am not in the same room as him.I ought to ignore him too. But I can't. I should probably start now. At least it will ease everything. This is our third week already and we still have a lon

Jayden's POV"What the hell is this, Isabella?" I shout at her again, making her jerk back in fear.I haven't eaten all day and now that I have the appetite to eat something, she has ruined it."I'm so…so..sorry", she apologizes with her eyes closed. She knows how much I hate clumsiness and this is what she is doing now. I am not mad at the fact that there is water all over me but my food is ruined in addition to my loss of appetite.I could barely eat for almost two days now and I wonder when my appetite will be back again now that it is gone.In anger, I twirl back and walk to the closet. I should take a shower. I didn't intend to take a shower because I was too tired and hungry. I wanted to eat and go to bed but now I won't be able to sleep until I take a shower.I grab the towel and walk to the bathroom. When I am inside with the door locked, I exhale deeply, feeling guilty for shouting at her.Maybe I should have used the bell in the room to alert the maids to get me my food ins
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 47
Isabella's POVShe throws a cold glare my way before her hands push me backward.It is Mrs. Russell. Jayden's mother."What have you done to him?" Her loud voice echoes around the private corridor of the hospital building.I had done the only thing I could do. Calls.I called the numbers of every name that came to my head.I called his Father and Mother, I called my Grandma and I called Gabriel too. I have cried so much and it feels as if the rivers of tears in my eyes have dried up. I should have known that he was ill. I should have suggested to him that he visit the doctor.I blame myself for this. I blame myself for what happened. Maybe if I hadn't asked him that question or if I hadn't poured water all over him maybe he wouldn't be so mad at himself to have even thought of inflicting pain on himself.What exactly happened in the bathroom is something I have no idea about and only Jayden can explain what happened.I was already on my bed sulking for being clumsy when I heard him s
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 48
Jayden's POVShe smiled at me.I saw Helena. Smiling down at me until I opened my eyes to see that Helena isn't here and I am in the hospital.The door opens and Mother rushes in after slamming the door shut. Before she can get to my side, the door opens again and Father comes in, then Gabriel and Sabrina.I am about to ask for Isabella when she comes right through the door with her head down and her hands trembling."Jayden", my Mother cries and lays her head on my stomach.They all surround me, Gabriel smiling down at me while Father holds my hand. They must have been scared. I scared them.I was scared too. I thought I was going to die.But I am confused now. I don't know why Helena was smiling down at me that way.Is it because she is proud of me for inflicting such pains on myself or is it because she has forgiven me?If she had forgiven me, then why am I not feeling any relief? I still feel like the weight of the whole world has been placed on my shoulder. The only relief I fee
